	:::OK. I had to change the source tag to "no copyright" since this user has uploaded an image that (1) was possibly created by himself or someone else--I don't really know, and (2) NBC/Universal likenesses cannot be public domain. Merciful, if you have a knack with PS, this graphic does indeed show the spit and polish that would be nice to have in the article's pips, but we have to do things the right way and the contributor MUST tag the image and note the specific source themselves. We can't go searching the internet for sources--that's the uploader's responsibility. So, save a copy for yourself to work on, 'cause by Tuesday it will disappear without a proper tag and response from the uploader. --[[User:Spencerian\|Spencerian]] 09:47, 19 May 2006 (CDT)		:::OK.

	:(Updated) This image is marked "public domain" and I don't believe that's a correct tag. All likenesses of the show's content is ''de facto'' copyright of the show, including these badges. "Public domain" implies anyone can do ANYTHING to the image or the medium it appears, suggesting no one owns it. But Universal most definitely owns these likenesses of the ranks, so I will change the tag to point this out. It will likely be considered "fair use," but it's certainly NOT public domain, even if the creator of the image was the one who uploaded it. Universal owns what he drew. --[[User:Spencerian\|Spencerian]] 09:31, 19 May 2006 (CDT)		:(Updated) This image is marked "public domain" and I don't believe that's a correct tag.

Technically the ranks that are "guessed at" with the current article should be removed, if I interpret things right. I also don't like how this graphic is displayed.
